The present-day US really seems to be two separate countries culturally speaking. Of course,that's ignoring the enormous misinformation and manipulation machines of the power interests.

To me it seems more like 60-40, majority to the party that wins, thanks to the swing voters. Which, as we saw in Florida 2000, and US party primaries 2008, can definitively change the game. Remember Clinton vs Obama early last year? Clinton was leading all along against all the other candidates in the Democrat primaries, until Obama came along and took the swing votes.
